Alton's Guacamole

I talk a lot about Rachael Ray, but I also love Mr. Alton Brown. Last night was the perfect night for some Corona's, guacamole and some super easy enchiladas. (I did not have the Roma's but I did have some strawberry tomatoes and they worked fine...you know 80/20:)

Guacamole
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown
3 Haas avocados, halved, seeded and peeled
1 lime, juiced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 clove garlic, minced
In a large bowl place the scooped avocado pulp and lime juice, toss to coat. Drain, and reserve the lime juice, after all of the avocados have been coated. Using a potato masher add the salt, cumin, and cayenne and mash. Then, fold in the onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and garlic. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved lime juice. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour and then serve.


P.S. This is good but nothing beats the guacamole and mojitos at Cafe Atlantico (see pic) in DC! Not sure what the secret is??????
